Transforming homes for comfort and health while reducing environmental impact through high-efficiency, low-carbon heat pumps.

Public Policy Manager 

<div class="job-responsabilities-wrapper">
<h2 class="title job-responsabilities">About the Role</h2>
<div class="rich-text w-richtext">
Amply is an early-stage startup building game-changing software for heat pump pros. Residential buildings represent 20% of all U.S. carbon emissions, of which more than half are related to home heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems. Therefore, retrofitting 80 million home HVAC systems with modern heat pumps is the single biggest residential decarbonization opportunity we have. It is critical we get this once-in-a-generation shift infrastructure and building electrification transition right.
Getting it right begins with the right design. Replacing a conventional HVAC system with a heat pump is not a simple "box swap" &ndash; heat pumps are far more sensitive to sizing and equipment selection assumptions. There are also concerns about aesthetics, rebates, operational costs, and more. For heat pump professionals, often the salesperson, these details end up as hours of "homework" on nights and weekends for every project (or they just don&rsquo;t get done at all).
We founded Amply to make the lives of heat pump professionals easier, make homeowners happier, and deliver on the potential of heat pumps to reduce emissions. If we make heat pump pro&rsquo;s lives easier, they&rsquo;ll have more capacity to accelerate this generational shift in infrastructure. Homeowners delighted with their heat pumps will spur more rapid adoption. And right-sized systems will improve home comfort and health while minimizing carbon emissions and electric grid impact.&nbsp;&nbsp;
We are looking for a mobile engineer who believes in our mission, who loves building beautiful product, who is excited to join a fast-moving, self-motivated team, and who is pumped (pun intended!) about geeking out on heat pumps. 
This role can be remote anywhere within the United States with a preference for EST timezone (our distributed team is primarily based in the Northeast.)

About BlueUrbn
We&rsquo;re a team of five grad students at Stanford with a deep passion for climate and energy.&nbsp; Two of us came together as part of a class taught by Dave Danielson, Breakthrough Energy&rsquo;s Managing Director, and we haven&rsquo;t looked back since. For the coming year, we&rsquo;re super committed to hyper-scaling our mission and building the world&rsquo;s largest platform for energy efficiency and clean energy technologies. 🚀 We&rsquo;re hiring for key roles across the core team for BlueUrbn, and together, we&rsquo;re going to make magic!
The world is building the equivalent of a NYC every month for the next 35 years, and buildings are a massive untapped resource from an energy, economic, and climate lens. Nearly vacant buildings saved only 10% energy and costs during COVID! On top of this, 31 cities in the US now have energy and carbon reporting obligations, with 15 requiring mandatory disclosures for energy consumption and efficiency. This problem isn&rsquo;t limited to just the US - buildings were a central part of COP28, the United Nations Climate Change Conference held in Dubai last November and all stakeholders including central governments, NGOs, utilities were extremely aligned on the need for speed and scale.
But identifying what to do to save energy, cut costs and lower carbon emissions costs building owners thousands of dollars and takes hundreds of hours of manual effort. The industry is not prepared for the mounting wave of energy efficiency, sustainability, and high-performing buildings, and we&rsquo;re here to change that.
Who you are
You&rsquo;re an engineer obsessed with building products that can have a meaningful impact on the world.

This problem isn&rsquo;t limited to just the US - buildings were a central part of COP28, the United Nations Climate Change Conference held in Dubai last November and all stakeholders including central governments, NGOs, utilities were extremely aligned on the need for speed and scale.</li>
<li>The opportunity: But identifying what to do to save energy, cut costs and lower carbon emissions costs building owners thousands of dollars and takes hundreds of hours of manual effort. The industry is not prepared for the mounting wave of energy efficiency, sustainability, and high-performing buildings, and we&rsquo;re here to change that.</li>

But identifying what to do to save energy, cut costs and lower carbon emissions costs building owners thousands of dollars and takes hundreds of hours of manual effort. The industry is not prepared for the mounting wave of energy efficiency, sustainability, and high-performing buildings, and we&rsquo;re here to change that.
Who you are
You&rsquo;re a machine learning / computer vision engineer obsessed with building products that can have a meaningful impact on the world. At BlueUrbn, we&rsquo;re building a product that goes from 0 to 1 and automates painstaking manual energy audits without stepping foot into a building.

<h1>About Pearl</h1>
To achieve net-zero emissions, hundreds of millions of systems that consume natural gas in our homes need to go electric. Whether or not these systems electrify will depend on individual &ldquo;kitchen table&rdquo; decisions made by millions of families, weighing comfort and convenience, costs (up front and over time), and climate impact. But making these decisions is difficult. Evaluating what to buy, what&rsquo;s reasonable to pay, and who to trust to install it involves navigating a ton of bad information and complexity.
Pearl exists to make home electrification easy for customers and profitable for contractors - starting with home heating and cooling.
Pearl is a home electrification &ldquo;concierge&rdquo; - our purpose-built software platform allows homeowners to instantly generate a value-engineered system design, get a fixed-price quote, and connect with a vetted, qualified contractor to complete the install.
Pearl also saves contractors time and money. Today, they do lots of work - a home assessment, system design, bid preparation, customer education, and more - at risk, before a contract, on a low win rate. Pearl takes care of this, so that contractors spend more time on revenue-generating installs and less time on sales and back-office.
Our goal is a win-win-win - for customers, for contractors, and for the climate. <a href="https://www.pearledison.com/onboarding/start">Check out our MVP</a>.
